About this Manual
This manual covers the MIL- 1225LS gigabit converter. The terms “MIL-1225LS”
and “converter” are used throughout this document to describe the device.
Introduction
The MIL-1225LS is a 1000 Mbps, gigabit Ethernet device that converts short-wave,
multi-mode fiber optic signals to long-wave, single-mode fiber optic signals (and
vice versa). The device has two SC connectors:
Port
•
SM
•
MM Port
(1300 nm single-mode fiber)
(850 nm multi-mode fiber)
The MIL-1225LS is a stand-alone device, and it has dual-redundant power
supplies for better reliability.

Note:
A hybrid cable is recommend to compensate for the DMD (Differential Mode Delay) issue
associated with gigabit speeds and some multi-mode fibers.
3. Connect a power cable to PWR1 . A second, optional power supply may be
connected to the back-up power jack ( PWR2
